I figure I’m about half way through my life, and I want to capture every moment of joy and happiness, record it to be savoured as the days go by. This is my quest: to see the beauty of the earth and recognize the hand of God in my life and the world around me in everyday moments.

Today is the day before Christmas!

Well, in my world anyway. My children and grandchildren are coming over tomorrow to spend the day as if it were Christmas: opening presents, eating turkey, singing Christmas carols, just as if it were the 25th. I’ll be heading off to spend Christmas with my parents and my children have their in-laws to visit on Christmas day, so tomorrow is our special day to celebrate the birth of Christ together as a family.

I’m spending today finding joy in all the preparations that go into a festive turkey dinner and gift opening. The presents are wrapped, and as usual, I bought more presents than I remembered. I’m so grateful for the means and ability to buy gifts for my loved ones.
